SINANO plays a key role in shaping research agendas, supporting emerging technologies, and strengthening Europe’s position in the global semiconductor landscape. Through coordinated initiatives, expert working groups, and engagement with policy frameworks, SiNANO promotes excellence in science and education. Its activities contribute to the development of next-generation electronic systems, enabling technological progress in areas such as advanced computing, sensing, and energy-efficient devices.
Sambuddha Khan – Tyndall National Institute
Abstract: High-frequency on-chip power supplies demand inductors co-located with power management ICs, yet monolithic BEOL integration of magnetics is constrained by thermal budget and thin metallisation. This talk presents Tyndall’s magnetics-on-silicon platform and the heterogeneous integration solution developed within the FAMES Pilot Line: model-based design of stripline micro-inductors (5–10 nH, 20–50 MHz) for multi-level buck converters, optimised CoZrTa/AlN laminated cores, and wafer-level fabrication with quality factors above 8. A tether-free micro-transfer-printing process integrates large-footprint inductor chiplets onto glass substrates and into silicon trenches, preserving inductance within ±10%. Prospects for buried inductor–capacitor power networks in interposers and FAMES access will be discussed.
